The Plan
Monday: (technically a rest day) PM Forelimb workout and full body stretch
Tuesday: AM Abs PM 3 mile run
Wednesday: 2 mile hill wo/stretch
Thursday: AM Abs PM 3 mile run
Friday: AM Yoga PM Stretch/rest
Satruday: Strength Train 90 mins
Sunday: (long run) 4 miles
The running is from the program and I stuck in the cross training on off days. I will modify as I go. I'm currently having a hard time getting Stephen motivated to do anything so I might just go at it alone and stop waiting around for him. I feel like he is currently dragging me down because he has zero motivation and I am lacking it aswell which makes it twice as hard. But I will do a video when I get home and get a good full body stretch in... as well as foam roll my legs.
I would appreciate comments if anyone has any. Thanks

I'd give you advice, but I haven't been training like I should due to work and people always wanting me to hang out with them all the time Oh yeah, and doing way too much yoga My half marathon is 2 weeks from YESTERDAY and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to run the whole thing 
Anyway, I like your plan, it's a great plan!
CONGRATS on being an aunt!!!!!!
Me too! My "sister-in-law" (my brother who is pretty much a brother just not blood) is pregnant, too! OMG I am sooooo happy, she's 38 and has wanted a baby since she married J. 3 years ago! And they didn't get preggers until just recently although they'd been "trying." HAHA! YAY!!!

Hey I don't think you can do tooo much yoga especially if you love it like you do! And those are great excuses for not training... I wish I had friends that wanted to do more than party and drink... kinda leave me outta the loop ya know.
Oh yay for a halfer!! I'm sure you will do amazing! You are strong and a true runner... just enjoy it!
YAY for being aunts!!! I am sooo happy too!! I've been waiting since they got married and finally now that he is out of the military they are ready!! And I am sooo ready!! June can't come quick enough!

Okay lunch-time check in.. mostly because I am bored.
I am debating weather or not to go to A&P lab... so far I have found them to be completely un-helpful. The labs are supposed to be 3 hours long, but the TA is done with his part in like 20 mins or less... leaving us to fend for ourselves for the rest of the time. We aren't givent specific tasks or experiments or anything like that to do... like right now we are going over the appendicular skeleton... and we have a vairity of bones to look at, but you can only look at bones for so long without any direction. I feel that I would be better off studying on my own. So... yeah I just might skip today and head home to study.
Sooo, I guess that's all... lunch was pretty simple and boring and I'm actually still hungry, however I have an apple staring at me that I could chomp... but I don't know if it would satisfy my craving!
Am Snack:
All natural yogurt
Total: 120
Lunch:
Roast Beef Sandwhich on wheat w/FF cheese and mustard
1 svg baby carrots (raw)
8 oz orange powerade
Total: 334 Calories
Note: I typically dont drink sports drinks they are waaay too sugary, but I was in the "mood" and had one in the fridge here at work... I diluted it with water to make it drinkable.
I think Im going to eat my apple too... hold me over.

Orange poweraid..I agree, sports drinks are too sugary! I never noticed till I started drinking water a LOT then I tasted some poweraid and was like "Ew....whyd I ever drink this before?!"

Yeah they are full of sodium too... unless you are working out for hours (like 6+) there is really no need for them... I put them in the same category as soda and rarely drink them.

ooooh....I know what you mean about having a hard time motivating others when it's hard enough to motivate yourself! I think that you said it on the nose....you can't wait around for other people to accomplish your goals with you.....besides they are YOURS, not his. But what I did find to be helpful, was involving my time with me, and my workouts, and then after a while it actually motivated my BF to do the same....The Plan

...he actually told me so a few weeks back, that it was my motivation to try and get and maintain fit, that actually propelled him to get off his ass and work out!
....WELL HEY, who the HELL knew it was me who inspired him! I thought I was just being useless in my attempts to get him to partake in the MOVING LIFESTYLE! ....go figure.....but my advice...just do for yourself....and they will follow....
...besides you can tell that Stephen really loves you a lot, and I'm sure soon enough he will love partaking in what you love as well...!!!
...and hey...worst comes to worst...YOU ARE BEING HAPPY DOING THE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO!

I am hoping that my motivation will help his. And I just need to remind myself that I am doing this for me. Although I like that he and I run together, but there have been plenty of times that his lack of motivation has put me off to the point that I am un-motivatable.
But here is hoping that he will follow by example!! My motivation is pretty high right now, I've had a few "fat" days that has put me into action... lets hope I can hold on to it!!!

September 23
So I am hating myself right now... I am slacking big time on my school work. I just hate that all of my classes are done online and I have to constantly check for updates and new assignments and what not. Long story short I missed an assignment for my A&P class... its only worth 5 pts... but still I just feel like a complete loser... I really need to get my shit together. I have not been studying near as much as I should be... like yesterday I didn't go to lab so that I could go home and study... ha didn't happen I went to the grocery store before going home and then cleaned the house and started dinner then worked out and finished dinner... and then put a movie on and ate dinner then went to bed!!! UGH!!!! STAB ME!! So now I need to get on track with my school stuff before I drown!!!
On a lighter note I did workout last night. I did Jillian Michales Cardio Kickbox with my wrist weights... and I did pretty good. My back and shoulders are pretty sore today from throwing punches with the weights, but its a good sore. I got up this morning and did abs, just like the plan says. I got out of bed late but was like screw it who cares if I'm late to work its slow anyway. (PS I get to work before anyone else.. we don't open till 8 and I get here at 7 so technically if I dont get here at 7 I'm not late... anything after 8 would be considered late). I did a quick 15 mins of abs of steel... ha an old 80s ab workout.. its acutally not bad. And tonight is 3 miles... lets hope I can at least keep that motivation going and hopefully it will flow over into my school work!!!

Hey there
School work can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. I'm not even in school yet and the anxiety from everything I'm going to have to start doing is weighing on me. I also know how hard A/P can be... It's way too much information thrown at you too quickly and for your brain to completely process in the given time... Just do the best you can, and I'm sure you'll be fine. I had the option of doing online classes but I decided against it. I think it would be very hard for me, at least in the beginning. I've just have to accept the fact that I WILL have to make studying and schoolwork my absolute number one priority while I'm in school... Otherwise when I mess up, they will bounce my ass out of the program so fast my head will spin, lol...
Great job on all the working out! Your doing amazingly well. Running 3 miles will be great for you. I'm hoping I can pull that off on the treadmill tonite, we shall see

My GAWD you sound like such a Virgo!
You're not a loser, and hey you got a great workout in too--it's incredibly difficult to balance weight loss/fitness gain, school, work, and household duties and you seem to be doing a WAY BETTER job than I could do, or most people for that matter. Your schoolwork inspiration will come.....remember the workouts are only keeping good brainpower!

Awww girlie.....boy do I know how that goes! For some reason the minute you get home, you always have a ton of shit to do....lol!!! Then....Ahhhh...I'm tired!....LOL!!!
OMG.....I have both of those....Jillian...and the ABS of STEEL.....
...VHS BABY!!Good Work, and don't worry your focus will be back any second!
I'd kick that all-or-nothing mentality to the curb. It sets people up for perfectionism and we all know nobody is perfect. Complete loser? How about you made a small uh-oh that doesn't matter much at all in the grand scheme.
This might just be me. However, when I was in pure learning mode (which never really ended) I would fret constantly that I wasn't doing enough. Then tests would roll around and I'd crush them. I tended to downplay how much effort I really put in. Could I have done more? Certainly. Is there more to life? Hell yea.
If you really don't think you are doing enough, plan your days out better. I remember before you were doing this and it seemed to be working for you.
Or reward yourself for studying. That's what I used to do. I'd think to myself, "Nope, before you can eat or go out with your friends, you have to pay. And this store accepts no money. You have to pay with an hour of studying."
Hope you start feeling better!

Thanks Sam, Val, Alta, and Steve.... its just not been a great day, but now that its over I'm better. I got some studying done on my break at school and have a "plan" for the rest of the week. And you are right Steve I am doing more than most and will score well when the test comes around. I think for the most part I was just having a moment... It's been one of those days. I got into with my mom today and that spilled over to getting between Stephen and I... and yeah but its all settled at least with Step, which is most important... but we also are uncapable of being mad at one another for more than an hour so that helps to...
Anywho... thanks again guys, it means alot to have your support!
So I ran 3 miles tonight, for the first time on the tredmill... our evening was jammed so doing the loop wasn't an option, but the tredmill works just fine. I was hoping for a better outcome, but 43 mins isn't terrible and I walked 0.2 right smack in the middle... and then gave it hell the last 1/4 mile. I did half at 4.0 mph and then after my little walk I did the rest at 4.3 mph... and that last at 5.7!!!! mph... my legs felt... odd to say the least they were jelloish but not to the point that I had to stop. Step was beside me the last 0.10 to cheer me on. When I was done Step got on (yay!! it worked Alta... me doing something pushed him to do something!!!). His time was of course better than mine but I pushed waaay harder in the end, he kept the same pace.
And then we had fijatas for dinner and now Step is tending to the creatures and I am going to get ready for bed.
